ABCNEWS.com : For Dictator Drop-Outs, Try the Academy Boston University has initiated a fellowship to allow former heads-of-state from Africa — a continent that has generally had a rocky relationship with democracy — to spend up to two years at the institution, traveling around the United States and hosting public policy forums and discussions.
To sweeten the deal, the appointment also comes with an apartment in a posh part of Boston, plenty of security, and a generous stipend. An airline has even provided the program with a grant for domestic travel.
